Scientific research has three properties that may distinguish it from other forms of research. First, it is methodical.
That is, in advance of doing the project, you can lay out a methodology by which you will conduct your research, and that methodology leads knowledgeable reviewers to be able to assess the likelihood of success at achieving your stated objective. Second, it is repeatable. That is to say that, if reasonably competent persons repeat your methodology reasonably well in disparate locations at different times, they will get essentially the same results.
Third, it is verifiable. You can show that the results you have obtained are the results you claim.
